St. Louis, Dec. 2O.-The fifty young
men arrested in the two houses Sstur-
day in Gamblers alley, for playing
craps, were in Judge Cady's court yes
terday morning. As the case against them
was not of the most solid nature fourteen
OF them pleaded guilty and were fined the
nominal sum and costs, amounting in all to
$40. The cases of the other thirty-six were
nolle prosecuted. The rather peculiar
phase was that there was not boy among
the fifty arrested, and forty-fiye of the
number were well-known clerks in stores
within two blocks-the fsrthest limit-of
Gamblers alley. The proprietor's green
cloth covered furniture will be used for
kindling wood.

The Warrensburg, Mo, Post
Office.

Washington, d. C, December 20.-Sena-
tor Cockrell is the last of the democratic
senators TO put postmaster OF has own
party in his home post Office. Most.Of The
senators effected the change rs soon as the
machinery OF the department got into de-
CAPTIVATING order under Gen. Villas. There
was rush of applicants Tor the Wauens-
burg, Mo-, Office, but Gen. Cockrell parried
them all. His reply TO the petitioners was
that there was nothing against the repub-
licsn postmaster OF his town bu. politics,
and he would not ask his removal ON that
account, and he didn't. The republican
postmaster at Warrensburg has held al
most three years into the democratic adj
ministration. He would probably have
gone on to the end of his term, but be con-
cluded recently to resign. The senator
recommended Henry III. Russell for the
vacancy, and the nomination was sent TO
the senate to-day. Naturally there will
be no trouble about Mr.. RusselPs conhr-
nation.

Wants $4,000 for a Kiss.

LYONS, y. y, December 22.-Mrs. Jen-
ME Walker, of Ontario, this county, has
sued Daniel Elman, one OF the most prOmi-
nent men in that place, for $1,000 damages
for kissing her on the left cheek last Sep
TENDER. She alleges that Elman came into
her house on business with her husband,
and. when her husband went out OF
the room for moment, he
suddenly leaned over and kissed her,
whereby she was thrown into nervous pros
tration, and because of the shock occasion
ed by Elman's hasty act she was physically
incapacitated from household duties for
seyersl weeks. Elman admits that he kiss
ed her, but he says he has regarded her as
his child, and his act was only one OF al
lection for her. He will defend the suit.
